Frustrating to say the least with 340 runners and a 1st prize just under £40000 what great value when youve satellited in for £15 but i not when you never get going .
During the opening 2 levels i twice caught coolers in battles of the blinds my initial one i had 93c in bb ,i check flop falls q46 all clubs ,i bet he calls turn 4 he bets i call slowing down a bit worried about full house or bigger flush, river comes rag he bets i call ,he turns over 64 for full house GRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
Then half an hour later im in small blind 3 callers so i make up piece big blinds check my 25 clubs look great on 346 board two diamonds so i check ,bb check ,utg bet ,next fold ,guy on button raises (happy days im thinking )so i reraise only for big blind to push allin behind .
Everyone folds to me i use up as much time as possible to get read on him eventually i fold scandi shows 57 diamonds top straight with flush draw no wonder he looked ice cool.
Now im down to 6000 from 10000chips and already on life support,then at the end of last level im utg with qq so i limp next ny scandi foe raises followed by 2 callers now its back round to me and worried about scandi boy i call (a poor play by me i end up losing 2000 more chips when a reraise would have had me racing in hindsight with scandiboys ak at worst }
Just goes to show that each hand is different and should be played on its merits but i let the coolers affect me.
Queens was eventually my only pocket pair in seven 45 minute levels before my exit came so all in all if it could go wrong it did.
Decided to let the clock go past 12 before jumping on the cash tables and as usual the 1/2 was full of numpties with money to burn 3rd hand in ive got kk on button 2 callers and a raise before a £12 raise so i repop to £30 to be meet by a guy going allin for £160 .Occasionally i can give credit for aces but very rarely so my chips are in quicker than linford christie.
Nice they hold up ,numpty rebuys even better.
Then 2 orbits later im on button again with 22 i call £10 raise flop comes q92 happy days again when mug punter pushes my raise all in for £100.
Play on till 530am when club shuts and one hand i played just goes to show standard of players im utg with black aces so i limp ,much to my dismay no raise flop comes a65 all hearts so i bet 2 callers turn 9clubs ,again i bet 2 callers river comes 10 hearts so now i think im beat with 2 callers with flush a straight out there but i dont want them to see ive limped with aces so i decide to bet £25 hoping to get reraised so i can muck my aces thus hiding my play.
Oh no i get 2 callers now ive got to show down my crafty play just as well neither had a heart or a straight and i scoop another 100quid(lol).
Wish i could have had these cards in tourney but never mind 400quid profit thanks very much.
Spare a thought for Chris Pratt who came and tried a cash game unfortunatley the numpty caught him by pushing allin with tens preflop to chris s aces and what a joke idiot catches a ten .
